Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT SIDE, TURNED OFF THE CAR, AND RESTARTED IT - IT WORKED. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN, TWO DAYS LATER UNDER THE EXACT SAME CIRCUMSTANCES. IT HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE, ABOUT A YEAR AGO, WHILE DRIVING ON LOCAL ROADS AT ABOUT 25 MPH, AND THE "ERROR CODE" SAID THAT THE ACCELERATOR MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.
